Thunder Rosa announced during a backstage promo on this week’s AEW Dynamite that, due to an injury, she’d be unable to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Toni Storm at the Sept. 4 All Out pay-per-view. It was quickly announced that an interim champion would be crowned at the pay-per-view via a four-way between Storm, Dr. Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter and Hikaru Shida. More information about the situation has since been reported, including news from Dave Meltzer via Wrestling Observer Radio that Rosa was booked to drop the title had her one-on-one match with Storm happened as planned. 

I want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank the #ThunderArmy and the Wrestling Community for the outpour of support and well wishes after my announcement on #AEWDynamite. I will heal and come back soon; your still @AEW Women’s World Champion.
